Suggest Treatment For Child Suffering From Nipple Pain After Swimming
My 7 year old son has severe nipple pain after swimming in a pool. They look irritated with the center being very red. The pool was in a friends backyard being self treated with chlorine as per pool instructions. What is it? How should I treat him? Should I take him to the Dr.?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It may related to contact irritant dermatitis secondary to chlorine in water , but severe pain one needs to rule out infection also.
You need to take him to a doctor for proper evaluation.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing your baby good health.
